NVC: Nintendo Switch Moves Millions, SNES Classic Moves None

Nintendo's sales successes, Metroid Prime 4 dreams, and the Pokemon Go Fest disaster.

By Peer Schneider

Weeeelcoooome to Nintendo Voice Chat Episode 366! Join our resident Nintendo fans as we talk about Nintendo Switch and Splatoon 2's big sales milestones, heartbreak over cancelled SNES Classic preorders, Nintendo's new online app, and who we want to make Metroid Prime 4.

Join Brian Altano, Zach Ryan, Andrew Goldfarb, and Peer Schneider to find out what games they're playing on Nintendo Switch this week, including Mario Odyssey, and newcomers Overcooked and Namco Museum, and hear tales of woe from Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago from someone who lived to tell the tale (but didn't throw a bottle).

As always, you can watch NVC here on IGN and on our YouTube channel or listen to it on your commute in audio format. If you dig the show, say something nice and tell your friends (and enemies, if they like Nintendo)!
